Samuel Oldfield Farm, Rossville, Kansas

Samuel Oldfield Farm, Rossville, Kansas

During the last day of June, Samuel Oldfield, Rossville, planted 18 acres of corn on land from which he had already taken a crop of wheat. He said the land was well-fertilized for the first crop, and the second took to growing lustily. A good stand of fodder corn is already assured, and indications are that many good ears will be on hand before Jack Frost gets in his work.
